Is there a Dummies Guide for how to use APS in ispConfig 3.0.5? I went to APS Standard website and most of the Docs seem geared toward implementing it.

When I go to install the app it asks which directory to put it in. Does the directory have to exist? Or will it create the directory like other installers like Softaculous do?

Does it create the DB if needed for example for WP?

Where is a log we can look at to determine why the install failed? Have yet to get one app installed. Can't seem to delete a failed install as well. Not sure if we can retry the installation, seems I was getting an error telling me package was already installed.

You are using a beta and not a final software. Beta software is for testing only and it has bugs. Please see bugtracker, there is a open bug listed that describes that deleting of apps does not work in the beta.

I was able to install WP and Zencart using APS, but Joomla still fails and thats what I was using as my initial test and getting frustrated. But after seeing the other apps install I at least know its working and there is just something wrong with that Joomla installer.

Would be great if there was a visual que for status for installation_task like a graphic that was constantly in motion. Same for when it s completed, a green check box and a red one if the install failed.

I have come to realize that when Joomla is installed then a password protected folder is created for /administrator however the actual protected folder user is NOT activated despite being created in the database.

Endlessly you get 500 error when accessing /administrator till a protected folder is deleted.

This protection is part of the joomla package from apsstandard.org and not from ispconfig, so it is not visible in the ispconfig database. We have no influence on the content of packages from apsstandard.org or what they create in detail in a website.
